…Pay Attention During The Pre Season 10. The Biggest Losers. Cause it’s fun to see who’s been stacking plates in the weight room, and who’s just been stacking plates. Nothing short of Al-Qaeda allegiance worries a GM more. Perennial “Watch List” members include Eddie Curry, Michael Sweetney, and The Big Pasta Bowl, Shaq. 9. Rounding…
DiNote: This is my first kick at this, so be gentle. Bound to pick it up after a few games. Now I know to always write down things like, oh, I don’t know, the score. Please leave me comments letting me know how to improve. (Also, this diary would have been up much earlier, but…
